Cornelis Claesz Anslo is a 1641 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat, sitting in a chair. He’s wearing a fur-lined coat and holding a piece of paper with one hand while resting his other arm on the chair. The background is plain, but the lines in his face and clothes are sharp and detailed. The artist used a technique called drypoint to add extra texture to the lines. This made the fur and fabric look almost three-dimensional. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint to see how artists create these rich textures.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
